Will you post your build for me Dr. G?
I didnt think the ATO would be that effective in shadowfield does it proc when first cast and again 10 sec later? Or does it proc more than that?
Would love to see your build, and if you happen to have a video on the Pylon solo - that too.
What was the time on that? That without lore seems impressive on a dark/dark.

The proc does both. It will trigger when first cast and then each time it "triggers" on any mobs still in the patch it will check the proc again. Really surprised me how much damage it actually does.|

Ok. Here is my Dark/Dark's build as it is currently. This is what I have solo'd a pylon with. Pylon time is probably a bit on the slow side (probably takes within 5 minutes?). I do not need to use Lore to solo a pylon either.
The build is certainly not perfect but it works!

How are you finding the effectiveness of the buildup proc in umbral beast?
Quote:
I do believe it to be of great benefit to him. I don't pay full attention to how often it goes off. But, since I already have a lot of Def/Resist buffs in Shadow Fall and Fade, the extra pet auras I don't think are quite as good.

Greetings fellows and ladies!
When I made my Dark/Dark controller, I expected to see him perform very well. Just from looking over all of the powers, one can see how well both sets work together. Layers of control and debuffs that combine to make one very effective controller.
However, I did some things this weekend which have completely blown away any expectations I had.
First, it should be noted that I first attempted to build more toward control than damage. I thought that my pets would do enough damage on their own. The control was great but the damage was not as good as I would have liked. So, I decided to slot most of my primary for damage. Only Fearsome Stare and Shadow Field did I slot for control. And, I slotted my Shadow Field with the ATO set (which is my only purpled set on the character) complete with the proc.
The result of my revamped slotting has been a controller that puts out damage close to what my Mastermind does... only with more hard control at my fingers. IMHO, Dark Control seems to make amazing use of Containment. I have seen entire mobs literally melt under the constant DoT from the AoE immob. The ATO set has literally turned my Shadow Field into a great hold/dot patch. In fact, the proc goes off so often Shadow Field will frequently 1-shot any minions and do significant damage to everything else.
More or less, I have a character able to go through +0/x8 missions with relative ease even without using pets. And, speaking of pets, I have all of my available pets pretty much permanent. Even the pet from my patron set is permanent. The total package is a character with an army of pets second only to Masterminds with more control than most Masterminds have. I.E. I believe a Dark/Dark might as well be a Mastermind and not a Controller!
As far as Incarnates, I have Ageless, Agility, Phantoms, Degenerative, and Ion all Tier 4. Though, I do almost feel as if the incarnates are more the icing on a really good cake.
Ok, enough rambling. The end result is now the ability to solo a Rikti Pylon with little danger and little effort other than keeping up my buffs/debuffs to make the damage count. And, I didn't even use my Lore pets for the pylon test.
